Answer:

A) Quadrant II or Quadrant IV

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinate plane is divided into four regions, called quadrants, by its two axes. These quadrants are numbered counterclockwise starting from the upper right quadrant.

  • Quadrant I: Both x and y coordinates are positive.
  • Quadrant II: The x coordinates are negative, and the y coordinates are positive.
  • Quadrant III: Both x and y coordinates are negative.
  • Quadrant IV: The x coordinates are positive, and the y coordinates are negative.

Therefore, if one of the coordinates of the point Ben plots is positive and the other is negative, the point could be plotted in either Quadrant II or Quadrant IV.

Additional Notes

Points plotted on the x-axis (x, 0):

  • The x-coordinate can be positive, negative, or zero.
  • The y-coordinate is always zero.

Points plotted on the y-axis (0, y):

  • The x-coordinate is always zero.
  • The y-coordinate can be positive, negative, or zero.
